Designer Wanted

Hey do you like to make things on the computer? Like designs and stuff? Gawker Media's sales department is looking for a highly creative, conceptual designer with experience and interest in advertising, branding, and web design to work with (read: get coffee for) the Senior Art Director. The ideal applicant holds a BA or BFA in graphic design (from an actual college or university, not Bob's Upstairs School of Law), is proficient in Illustrator and Photoshop, and has some experience with Flash and HTML. No minimum requirement for experience, just send a nice portfolio. Send inquiries to designjobs@gawker.com. Be sure to include samples in the email (pdf or URL link). As always, Irish need not apply. (Kidding!!)

Does Photoshopping the heads of smiling dogs onto electrical appliances count?

If so - I could be the guy you're looking for.

Richard, everyone knows BUSL graduates become writers and not designers.

For many, many good reasons.

I assume this is an intern position, since you are only asking for a BA instead of a PhD. You should be inundated
